Further investigation shows that VMware have helpfully put this information in a completely different storage system which needs a different SDK to access.

Having the same need/issue in Discovery 11.3 against latest vSphere API. Cannot get TAGS to query via custom TPL. Has anyone made progress on this?

I have the same question, can tags from the latest vSphere API be discovered in Discovery 11.3.05?

Additionally, is it still possible to access annotations?

Not - VMware store them in a place not accessible to the vSphere API. It should be possible to use the discovery RESTful requests to query the tag REST API (VMware docs)
